We just submitted a version of our film to the Sundance Film Festival! We thought it was impossible, then read that they would take an incomplete version. So--it's our first festival entry.
Actually, the paper work and the financial payment have been submitted--we are waiting for the 40-min. film version to render--and the computer says 3 hours! At least we made the west-coast midnight deadline with the rest of the submission.
How many festivals will we submit to? Oh--there are 650 to choose from--if only we could enter at least 10! But each entry fee is between $55-$100. We need to do more fundraising!

September Updates!
So much has happened recently! San Francisco--a wonderful commemoration in the grand Opera House. I helped with costumes of the characters portrayed by actors.
And that night I was able to present film excerpts and speak at the SF Baha'i Center--perhaps 400 people came!
Richmond the night before--we had a film event at Mansour Taeed's theatre--110 people came!
Lisa's husband, Stan, served as engineer and flew from Australia to arrange everything!
Then, an interview with Rob Sockett, for 239 Days! See http://239days.com/2012/09/15/documenting-a-luminous-journey/
Now, we are preparing a version for the Sundance Festival deadline IF we can create something worthy by Monday. Oh, my.
We have animators working on an animating logo, flashback sequences, opening titles. I have been working on the closing titles, which will be enhanced by an animator.
Music is getting laid down. . . .
We are so tired and usually push ourselves to work until about 4 am and then get up too early. How to sustain this pace?
Vitamins and drawing energy from the ethers. . . . And a little help from our friends!
We need to do a bit more FUNDRAISING, especially to cover audio sweetening (around $6000), film festival entry costs ($55-100 each), animation projects, and paying skilled helpers for misc. tasks. Any ideas for us?
